Question about Toons

TaylorMarieXXX · 02-19-2008

So I've noticed something, and since ya'll are kind of like my home-forum (granted I whore my ass everywhere like a whore on the track*), but I get the best business feedback from ya'll so I got a question.

I see people selling all these sexy toons and shit, and I assume they are for banners or graphics or whatever. Now I see people buying these toons for between $30-45 a piece. I live in a huge college town with a great graphics design program (I know because my college g/f went through it) I know for a fact that I could get some college kid who would be stoked, to make toons of the same quality I see advertised for like $10 a pop. Shit, they would be fighting for that work, the same with banners. Now since I dated a graphic designer (and i like to think I've got a good aesthetic) I can tell great pro work from a lot of the stuff out there. I think these kids could atleast do 'a lot of the stuff out there' and I know they could do great toons. So the question is, lets say I was just to do a 100% mark up and charge 20 bucks a pop for toons. Is there a market?

2nd Part of the question is I've found I spend as much time marketing as I do actually writing blogs. So here's my second question. If the above seems like a decent idea, is there someone who has contacts etc. that thinks they could really rain-make that would want to do a 50\50 split. I figure I could scare up some business, but someone who really produces would likely bring more than double business in, therefore I'm still even on the day and hopefully up. Basically you find and promote, I hire and deal with the designers. Just wanting to generate some discussion more than anything.
